No, but the brand of my violin is called Verona. So, I guess that is the name of my violin. :P

Well I used to play the cello, but now i play the oboe, so my oboe gets called 'cello' a lot. Does that count? XD
Otherwise, i dont think I've ever named any of my instruments...

At first my clarinet was named Derek, then I called him Carl, and now that I've gotten into Ouran High School Host Club, I've named it Tamaki.

Well... My flute is James... Or Trevor. But it's the brand name. Trevor J. James XD But recently I started to call my flute "my boyfriend" since my friends get confused when I talk about James or Trevor. No one seemed to get confused when I'm was talking about sending my boyfriend through mail to the capital for the repairs. Unless we were walking in the city and people around me heard about it. XD

........i'm failing to see why i would need to name em, are they people that feel better when i call them by their "names" or is there some connection between person and inanimate object that i am missing here?

Just think about Kids and their stuffed animals...Grown men and motorcycles...Other grown men with cars...All I can think of at the moment. There is apparently some connection that can be made with inanimate objects ^_^

eh heheh ^_^ why yes, yes I do name them. It was actualy kinda random how I came to name my flute O.o I was writing a story when people behind me were talking about naming instruments =D My favorite character in the plot is Vincent, so my flute is officially a guy named Vincent ^.^ wootah
My Alto saxophone doesn't have a name though o.o unless a series of undescribable curses counts for that ^^; heh

My school violin (which I had to return yesterday :cry: ) was named Combeferre. I started using that particular instrument in tenth grade, while I was reading "Les Miserables" for English. Hence, the name.
As far as instruments I actually own that have names, my violin is Julian, my tin whistles are Felicity, Bob, and George, my recorder is Albert, my ocarina is Lark, and I haven't gotten around to naming the keyboard yet. Don't tell the others, but Julian's my favorite :shifty:

I have two guitars one electric and one acoustic. The acoustic I named after my ex girlfriend who died a while ago, Jenny. My electric I named Kate because of a heavy metal girl I knew once and sort of changed my stupid ways.

My gosh. You guys name things too? >.<
I name everything... well... not everything. My cellphone's name is Mo. Ipod's name is Tiko. My easel's name is Milo. My computer's name is Ellyon. My truck's name is Hank.
As for my instruments... I have a classical guitar named Isabella. And a keyboard/piano named Peter. My violin's name was Melanie.
I suppose the reason for naming such items is it does kinda signify a connection to an item. >.> definitely doesn't mean I'm crazy. *cough*

I call my piano "piano," or things like "friend" or "old comrade." I do that with everything though, lol. My cat is called "cat," my computer is called "computer," etc.
Maybe I have no imagination, but I can't think of a more suiting name for a piano than "piano." =D

I own an ocarina, a recorder, a viola, and a piano. I hate my ocarina, I lost my recorder; they don't have names XD
But my mom calls my viola a Violin, and my grandmother can't pronounce either of them and calls it a "be-dol". My piano doesn't have a name, but I plan on upgrading to an electronic keyboard, which I might name "Super Happy Fun Music Time Instrument!"

I named my first bass guitar Mewtwo 'cause it's purple and white. I named my second one big black beauty 'cause it's a 6 string and black. Finally I named my new fretless four string The Cuttle fish of Ktulu.
